2 Claims.

This invention relates to an applicator for mouth suction, the generalobject of the invention being to provide means whereby snake bites,insect bites, and wounds can have suction applied thereto by the mouthof a person without thedanger of said person coming in contact with thepoison or other matter drawn from the wound.

This invention also consists in certain other features of constructionand inthe combination and arrangement of several parts, to behereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing andspecifically pointed out in the appended claims. w

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to theaccompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like orcorresponding parts throughout the several views, and. in which:

Fig. 1 is a view showing how the invention is used. a l

Fig. 2 is a sectional view through the device.

Fig. 3 is a View of the rear part of the device.

As shown in these views, the device comprises a substantiallyrectangular shield 1 having a nipple or bag-like portion 2 which passesthrough a centrally arranged hole in the, shield 1, the shield and thenipple being formed of very thin rubber or the like. The drawing showsthe open end of the nipple as pressed against that part of the shieldsurrounding the opening therein with the parts vulcanized or otherwisefirmly connected, although the two parts can be otherwise formed andconnected together if desired. An eyelet 3 is placed in each corner ofthe shield for receiving the flexible members 4 which are adapted topass over the earsof the user as shown in Fig. 1.

Thus, it will be seen that the shield covers the mouth and the lips ofthe user with the nipple 2 extending into the mouth so that, by placingthe a snake bite or the like,'pressure and suction can be exerted on thewound and thus the poison or other matter in the wound can be drawn intothe nipple and thus not contact with the mouth or lips of the user. Theopen end of the nipple can be made oval or of any desired shape.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages andnovel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction andin the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided thatsuch changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

I claim:

1. A device of the class described comprising a shield for extendingover the mouth of a person, and a nipple having itsopen end connectedwith the shield and adapted to extend into the mouth of the user.

2. A device of the class described comprising a shield having a holetherein, a nipple having its open end passing through the hole, saidshield and nipple being formed of thin resilient material, and meansforattaching the shield to a user with the shield covering the mouth of theuser and thenipple extending into the mouth.
